"I knew we had hired the right firm when, two weeks after being engaged, our Quinn Emanuel attorneys knew as much about the technical aspects of air filtration testing than some of our business people who have been in the industry for decades. As a result, they were able to stand toe-to-toe with our opponent’s experts and prevail completely in a preliminary injunction hearing that would have had multi-million dollar consequences for us. Although our opponent was a much larger company that had plotted its legal attack against us for months, Quinn Emanuel leveled the playing field in no time. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. "
- Richard Wolfson, Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, CLARCOR Inc.

"We have used Quinn Emanuel for our most significant litigation and have always found their work and courtroom performance to be outstanding. "
- David Silva, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Caruso Affiliated

"As a growing company, our experience with Quinn Emanuel was exceptional. Ours was a case of being David targeted in a lawsuit brought by Goliath, but as the litigation quickly moved forward, events proved that we had managed to reverse the roles by our simple selection of QE to defend us. QE completely changed the dynamics and was not only focused on winning the litigation, but just as importantly honed in on the need to bring the issue to a quick close so it did not have extended consequences to a smaller company’s financials. Although we hired them to defend a true "bet the company" trial if it went that far, instead they pursued multiple avenues to resolve it early and won us a settlement that was quick and painless. We absolutely made the right choice."
- Vince Nelson, CEO, Pace Shave, Inc.

"When we look for counsel to represent EA in our IP or other complex civil cases, we want lawyers who understand our video game business, our technology and who are masters of litigation and trial work. Our lawyers at Quinn Emanuel fit this bill to a 't.'"
- Jacob Schatz, Electronic Arts

Their ability to bridge financial and accounting matters with legal expertise made for a cohesive, effective and efficient process, enabling a true spirit of partnership between management and the firm."
- Joseph Lombardi, CFO, Barnes & Noble
